Russia’s first rocket, Daniil Medvedev, said he is ready to compete in singles and doubles at the 2024 Olympics, following the decision to allow domestic tennis players to participate in the Paris Games. His words were reflected on Reuters.
“If I can, I will play there. I will play singles and doubles. I had a great experience at the Tokyo 2020 Games. It was probably one of the best memories of my sporting life, and it surprised me because in tennis we tend to think that the Grand Slams are more important.
As for the neutral flag, I will follow the rules. “If I am accepted under a neutral flag, I will play under a neutral flag and try to compete there, show good tennis and try to win,” the athlete said.
On March 6, the International Tennis Federation (ITF) announced its decision to allow Russian and Belarusian tennis players to compete in neutral status at the Olympic Games in France.
Russians and Belarusians will be able to compete in the 2024 Olympics if they comply with the neutral athlete principles previously formulated by the International Olympic Committee (IOC).
The Paris Olympic Games will start at the end of July 2024.
